“Big Brother”: Is this over yet?

My hope is that when this Godforsaken season of “Big Brother” is over, that the contestants and so-called superfans will watch themselves and be disgusted, not only with their nasty behavior but by the fact that their gameplay, in no uncertain terms, sucks.

I mean, like a Hoover. Like a Hoover that mated with a Shark and had a Dyson. SUCKAGE.

What I hope makes them the maddest is the many opportunities they had to make a big move, like voting out power couple Amanda and McCrae — who nobody seems to even like anymore — and blowing it because it’s not “what the house wants.” They talk about the “house” like it’s an ancient tree that must be fed with the blood of virgins, or that creepy Billy Mumy kid on “The Twilight Zone” who would banish people who made him mad.

The “house” is people, like Soylent Green. It’s people that don’t want to go home, and that could be persuaded to kick out the most obvious threat if they remembered that if that threat is gone, they’re not a threat. McCrae, without Amanda, is no longer a power couple. He’s just a guy trying not to get voted off. The fact that Aaryn knew she needed to nominate Amanda but let Amanda stare her down was maddening. What is she gonna do, knife you? You put her up, you’d have at least you and Alyssa voting for her, and Andy could be swayed to vote her out if he thought there was a majority, since he doesn’t seem to be able to think for himself. Who knows what GinaMarie is thinking? I try not to think of her. Ever.

But Aaryn didn’t do that, so Spencer, who has no power, is on the block, and Helen, who’s just gotten her head out of her own butt long enough to realize that she’s the real target, is probably toast. I wonder when the show will play the returning houseguest twist, but I don’t think it would really make a difference, because no one’s thinking big enough to make it count.
